Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 17, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 9,617 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 599. Most cyclists arrived from the east (616 of 1,061). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,721 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,551). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Danforth Ave between Victoria Park Ave and Thora Ave (100 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 17,700 vehicles a day. Macey Ave between Lane N of Danforth and E of Victoria Park and Denton Ave measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Pharmacy Ave (295 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 119,220 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jul 24, 2013.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
